Halloween, the second most American holiday of the year (arguably), is also the second sluttiest day of the year (slut day is first, obviously).
This year, I saw a great deal of hilarious costumes and I hate to admit, that any pop-culture reference of a costume will get you higher on my list. This year I saw, from the recent film Inglorious Basturds, “Bear Jew” standing in my kitchen. Dressed in a wifebeater (the domestic abuse tank-top,) suspenders, with brown pants and a baseball bat, he was making other party-goers guess who he was.
“I’m from a movie.”
“Uh, Sandlot?”
“No, it’s not about baseball.”
“Is it a silent film?”
“I’m Bear Jew!”
Another favorite costume I saw this weekend, was “Mary” from “There’s Something About Moskey.” Ithaca’s own Sarah Moskey was dressed as Mary, complete with a red cocktail dress, a toy dog, and… something in her hair.
excellent costume
Costumes outside of Ithaca that caught my attention include this man dressed as “East Bound and Down’s” Kenny Powers.
I'm fuckin in, you're fuckin out!
This picture was sent by Michael Sokol, who was in Austin to celebrate Halloween, and while he was there, he also attended some media conference.
My final noteworthy costume pic of 2009 belongs to a childhood friend of mine, Danny Sullivan who was dressed as Maury Ballstein, from “Zoolander.” Perhaps one of the more obscure movie references, Sully executed it well, with fake dollar bills that he “made it rain with,” along with making people “kiss his rings.”
